LEB(i)
4 Thus says Yahweh my God: "Shepherd the flock* doomed to slaughter.
5 The ones buying them kill them and go unpunished, and the ones selling them say, 'Blessed be Yahweh, for I have become rich.' Their own shepherds have no compassion for them.
6 For I will no longer have compassion on the inhabitants of the land," ⌊declares⌋* Yahweh. "Look, I am going to cause humankind to fall, each into the hand of his neighbor, and into the hand of his king; and they will devastate the land, and I will not deliver anyone from their hand."
7 And I shepherded the flock* doomed to slaughter, even* the afflicted* of the flock.* I took two staffs, one I called Kindness, and the other I called Unity, and I shepherded the flock.*
8 And I got rid of three shepherds in one month, for ⌊I grew impatient⌋* with them, and ⌊they also became tired of me⌋.*
9 So I said, "I will not shepherd you! The one dying will die, and the one to be destroyed will be destroyed. And the ones remaining, let them devour ⌊the flesh of each other⌋."*
